The same Chilly that doesn't have a clue about Tannehill's background?

"It's remarkable that a wide receiver came in as proficient as he did at a big-time program," said Childress. "I have no reservations (about lack of experience). I like kids who haven't been playing the position since Pop Warner."

Well that's accurate if what Chilly really meant was "I like kids who played the position in Pop Warner, Junior High, and High School but took a year or two off when they first got to college."

Let's hope Seattle really likes him - hard to forget they traded two 2's for a QB that is already back with his former team (Whitehurst). It'd have to be a goldmine though - 12 is pretty far back to drop (though they might be able to get Floyd there). Something like this year's 2 and next year's 1 and 3.

Seattle just signed Flynn. I don't see them trading up at this point. Although I wish they would.

I don't think they feel that Flynn is a long-term solution. So you draft a Tannehill and truly let him sit a couple years behind a vet who got his starting job following that same path. Easily the best-case scenario if you're Tannehill.
